SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 271,762, dated Februaryy6, 1883.

^ Application led October 4, 1852. (No model.)

To all whom it'nwty concern:V

Be it known that I, EDWARD S. AMRocK, of Walthaimin the countyot'MiddleseX and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and otheroutdoor use.

The invention consists of aframe composed of four inclined bars, havinga top bar passing through holes in the upper ends of the inclined bars,and pro/'vided with a. canvas or other suitable flexible material soconnected with the `inclined bars as to render it adjustable either "in:['ront or rear, land so as' to form a support for the 4back when usedas a settee.

The invention also consists of an adjustable head-rest secured to a cordor rope which acts as a Support tothe longitudinal side rails.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l` is an end view of my convertiblesettee and lounge. Fig. 2 is a sectional view, showing the attachment ofan adjustable awning. Fig 3 is a front elevation. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 aredetail views.

A A A' A' represent bars set at an inclination, as shown in Figs. l and2.

B is a longitudinal bar secured to the upper ends ofthe inclined bars AA', through which the bar B passes, and is secured in place by a pin,'orby means ot'4 a latch andy groove in place of the pin, as shown in Fig.5.

G AC' aretwo longitudinal bars, which support the canvas or seat .,G,and are connected at the ends to the inclined bars A A' in such a way asto admit ot' their sliding freely on the bars A A. The bars C G' aresupported by means of cords D D', which pass through holes in the bar B,and they may also be further supported by means of a hinged bar or pawl,f, fitting in notches g in the bars A, as shown in Fig. (5. Aspring-latch may be 'used to act automatically forthe same'purpose. Thusthe seat and the back may be ,adjusted higher or lower, 'as desired. y Y

E is a head-rest composed simply of a narrow strip of canvas or othersuitable material, at each end of which is a wide hem, in which isinserted a short bar, a hole being made through the canvas and the barsat the center of their length for the cords D D to pass through, bymeans of which the headrest is supported and rendered adjustable to anyinclinationor height, or lowered at either end,

according to the angle at which the bars A A'- are set, and alsoaccording to the. position of the bars C C' on said bars A A'. Theheadrest E is thus always kept in proper position relatively to thecanvas G.

At each end ot the top of the inclined bars A A is a bar, H, pivoted orhung at its center to the projecting ends of the longitudinal bar B, soas to swing freely on the same. To these bars His attached an awning, K.To

-each end of the bars H is attached a cord, h,

readily taken apart and the parts folded in a Small compass for packingor transportation',

and when required for use may be readily put together and set up.

Y Under the canvas G, I form a pocket, l, for containing clothes orother articles. This pocket can be of any desired size, and is formed bystitching a piece ot' canvas onto the canvas G, along two sides and oneend thereof, and leaving one end or side open, which forms the mouth,and which can be secured by buttons or otherwise.

What I claim as my invention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, isvy 1. In a combined settee and lounge, the combination of the inclinedbars AA', the bar B, the adjustable bars C C', the canvas Gr, or itsequivalent, and the cords D D', substantially as and for the purposesset forth.
